The first time was when the X-Men were taken out by the gas arrow and Rankin interrupted the Adaptoid before he could perform his trace procedure--and the second attempt was when he planted a suggestion in the Adaptoid's thoughts to adapt those powers from himself and thereby add <i>all</i> of the X-Men's powers with one trace, a procedure that backfired due to the Mimic's abilities being artificial.<br />Comicsfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10064955427593820783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4142199900369238852.post-32017357079430264562019-01-16T08:12:55.162-05:002019-01-16T08:12:55.162-05:00I would put the "Sean Connery" remark do...I would put the "Sean Connery" remark down to the popularity of his James Bond movies.
